The Rice Class of 1928 will hold a
reunion at College Inn at 7:30 p. m.,
June 2, according to Jack Ogg, per-
manent president of the class.
Dr. Stocton Axson, professor of Eng-
lish, will be honor guest and principal
speaker. Members of the class have
been asked to bring their husbands
and wives to the reunion.
Future historians will regard the
coming world conflict as the last des-

ernments to protect themselves from
the people.—Dr. Norman Kingsley.

while lie and the above two formed a
committee to select the all-Texas

best amateur track men in the state,
he said.

We bought cVcrV Fort Worth and
[iallas paper in town1 this Week in a
vain.: effort to find out some of the
times in the dual meet lietweeti the
Frogs and the Mustangs in Fort Worth
last Monday.. We wouldn't say for
Mit-e, of course, but it looks very much
like a conspiracy: to keej> the other
conference' .from finding out any dope-
on the T 0. U, and S, M. U. track-
sters,
The Fort Wortii and; Dallas PajH-rs
whit.'h come to Houston and the other
cities in the state are special editions
from which a large amount of ma-
terial has been deleted.
What makes the matter even more
curious is that the Associated Press
dispatches coining from the scene of
the meet were also silent on the times
question.
Thi probability is that this combi-t
nation of facts is a mere coincidence.
The Fort Worth and Dallas papers arc
probably so disgusted with the lousy
track teams at these two conference
school* that they might have figui'ed
that a story on the track meet in their
"interstate editions" would take up a
lot of valuable space.
Rice partisans are tickled that the
two sectarian schools will cut a deep
wedge Into the points of A. and M.
and Texas, the two schools which with
the Owls arc given the beat chance of
winning the title this year. Person-seconds.

Chas, Casper's Frog Dope
Wendel "Doc" Sumner recently won
the Horned Frog award for scoring the
most frpe throws this season. Sumner
made good 33 out of a possible 42
shots. Flash Walker won this award
last year with a mark slightly lower
than that of Sumner's. Flash was on
doc's heels all the way through the
past season in an effort to regain the
trophy, but his failure to come through
in the closing games gave Sumner the
best percentage in the final counting.
"It took me nine races to accom-
plish it, but I did and I am one of the
happiest guys that ever lived," were
the words of Capt. Otha Tiner, star
quarter-miler of the Horned Frog track
team, after he had defeated Jack Hayes
in « grueling 440-yard dash during
the dual meeting between Denton
Teachers and T, C. U, here, Tiner
and Hayes have been running against
each other ever since they were in
high school, Hayes was at Oak Cliff
in Dallas and Tiner was at Waco high.
They have run nine races and Hayes
has been the winner of eight of the
the nine times. Tiner made up his
mind that in their final meeting he
was going to breast the tape first—
and he did, In the fast time of 51
